Short Description

Starlix is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes).

Starlix is taken right before a meal to help reduce mealtime glucose spikes. Starlix helps your body release insulin early, right at the start of a meal, when your body really needs it.

Starlix can be taken either alone or in addition to other type 2 diabetes medications: metformin (also known as Glucophage) or a class of drugs called thiazolidinediones, also called glitazones or TZDs.
